Dove Derma Series: Relief for Dry Skin

Affiliate Link Press Sample


Relief for Dry Skin:

Do you struggle with dry skin? Do you have skin conditions like Eczema? Well, Dove Derma Series just might be for you! While I do not have Eczema, I do have chronic dry skin and my son has Eczema. So, I like to keep Eczema-friendly products around the house that are super nourishing for dry skin. 

My problem area is certainly my hands. In my occupation as a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, I was my hands a lot for germ protection. So, keeping them moisturized with good products is a must! My other problem areas include my cuticles, elbows, feet, and heels. The winter is particularly harsh on my dry skin. My hands get flaky and my feet get so dry that they sometimes even crack (I know, ewh!). Plus, dry skin is just unconfortable and itchy. Nothing beats a great moisturizer to combat this! I am always diligent. However, during the winter I need to take some extra measures. That is where a line like the Dove Derma Series comes into play. It was especially formulated for extra dry and problematic skin (like Eczema-prone skin). So, it is extra moisturizing and extra soothing for your super dry skin. 

The products that I have been trying out from Dove Derma Series are the Dry Skin Relief Replenishing Body Lotion, The Dry Skin Relief Expert Repairing Balm, and the Dry Skin Relief Replenishing Hand Cream. So far, I must say, these products are a hit! Their super moisturizing formula is just what my skin needs to repair, feel soft, and for aleviation of itching and peeling/cracked skin. 

Now, I don't always use fragrance free products; but, honestly, I should. I know that they are better for my skin. So, I just need to keep those options on-hand at all times anyways. I am happy to see that the Dove Derma Series is recognized by the National Eczema Association. So, I know these are products that I can trust to use with my son. I tend to always choose fragrance free products when a line offers a fragrance free version of a popular product. I honestly wish more brands would do this! Sorry for the tangent, but honestly...fragrance free is much better for your skin! 

Dove Derma Series:

I slather my body completely with body lotion or body butter after every shower or bath. I recently switched to using this Dove Derma Series Dry Skin Relief Replenishing Body Lotion and I am so pleased with the results! It has a thin consistancy. However, it is still super moisturizing. It is super easy to spread across your skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I do like that it is light and non-sticky for quick morning applications after my showers. This lotion can work to repair the skin barrier while adding moisture. This product has really calmed my dry skin and has worked to heal dry patches. I totally love this product! I think that I would like to try the Body Cream next for night time application after night showers. However, for the mornings, this is perfect! :) 

Dove Derma Series Dry Skin Relief Expert Repairing Balm:
This might just be my favorite product from the line. This super versatile balm is perfect for my super dry and cracked areas like my heels, feet, cuticles, and elbows. This product is a super thick petrolatum jelly blend balm. It is surprisingly non-greasy and non-sticky. I like to slather this product on my feet at night and then put on cotton socks. This process competely heals my super dry and cracked skin and leaves it feeling super soft! This product is also amazing as a cuticle treatment/moisturizer. I just keep this tub right on my night stand for application to my feet and cuticles right before bed. Works like a dream!!! This product is so effective that it is recognized by the National Psoriasis Foundation as suitable for psoriasis-prone skin. Plus, it is an Allure Best of Beauty Awards 2018 winner! I totally recommend this product. Seriously, if you only try one product from this line, it should be this one! :) 

Dove Derma Series Dry Skin Relief Replenishing Hand Cream:
This hand cream is amazing! I love carrying hand cream with me in my handbag or work bag for frequent reapplication during the day. The key ingredient in this hand cream is glycerin which really locks in the moisture. This hand cream is both mild and moisturizing. I love that it is fragrance free (unlike most hand creams). This way its focus is just to replenish and repair without irritation. It leaves a wonderful barrier on your skin that really protects while sealing in the skin's moisture.

I totally recommend the Dove Derma Series for your sensitive, problematic, or Winter-dry skin! It sure has helped to heal and soothe my skin. There are more products I would love to try from this line including the specific Eczema formulation. What have you tried from this line? I would love to hear about what works for you! :)

As always, thanks for reading!
XOXO!!!

Yu-Be's Cult Classic Moisturizing Cream is now available Fragrance-Free!

Affiliate Link Press Sample 


Exciting news for fans of fragrance-free products...Yu-Be's cult-favorite Moisturizing Skin Cream now has a NEW Fragrance-free version: Introducing the NEW Yu-Be Advanced Formula Pure Hydration Cream Tube w/ Chamomile Extract.


I first tried Yu-Be's Moisturizing Skin Cream when I first started blogging years ago and totally loved it! I personally love using balms like this on my cuticles, feet, and any rough or irritated patches on my skin. I even love using it on my lips!


Over the years, and especially recently, I have developed a preferance for Fragrance-Free products. No, I haven't completely given up on Fragrance...However, if the same product is available in both Fragranced and Fragrance-Free options, I always go for the Fragrance-Free version. My skin is sensitive. So, I know that if I went 100% Fragrance-Free, my skin would thank me...and I might end up doing that eventually...but, I will admit that it is hard as a beauty-blogger when I love trying out all of the new products! With that said, if I could make just one request to all of my favorite brands out there, it would be to have all of their products available in Fragrance Free versions as well. 

So, when I found out that Yu-Be had a NEW Fragrance Free version of their cult classic cream, I just had to try it. Guess what? I am a HUGE fan!


Here is the scoop from Yu-Be:

The brand is launching a reformulated, unscented version of their cult favorite cream, Yu-Be Advanced Formula Pure Hydration Cream with Chamomile Extract.
·         Paraben Free
·         Totally Unscented (NO CAMPHOR)
·         Alcohol Free
·         Artificial Fragrance Free
·         Petrolatum / Mineral Oil Free
·         Free of Animal-Derived Ingredients

This cream is amazing!!! Honestly, I really categorize it more as a balm as it really meets my skin's needs that a balm usually covers: nails, cuticles, lips, rough patches, and feet. This product is super hyrating and very protecting. Slather it on all your rough and dry spots and you will wake up with improved skin. I literally keep this on my nightstand and use it every night before going to sleep. I just love it and am THRILLED with the fragrance-free version. The brand has carefully removed the camphor and parabens that were in the origional product while still keeping the powerful hydrating qualities everyone has come to expect from Yu-Be. 

The new Advanced Formula Cream is available for $16 via www.yu-be.com, select Yu-Be products can also be found at Target, Amazon, Anthropologie and Nordstrom online.

Don't you just love finding a new resource/e-commerce site for your beauty shopping? I know that I do. With two kids under 3, I am doing more online shopping than ever. It is just so much easier for me to browse a website from home than to juggle the kids while out shopping in an actual brick and mortar store. Sure we get out shopping plenty, but I really don't get much from my list! We just go out for fun! :)

Sorry, I digress, lets get back to talking about the fabulous new products that I tried out from LovelySkin.com. I had the opportunity to try out three amazing products from LovelySkin.com: LATHER Lemongrass Wasabi Hand Wash, LATHER Quiet Night Relaxing Balm, and SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense. LATHER is a line that I fell in love with recently after trying an assortment of products (if you missed it, please check out my previous LATHER review here!). SkinCeuticals is a line that I have used in the past and am happy to be returning to!

LovelySkin.com is the third largest cosmetically website in the world and they serve hundreds of thousands of customers and offer over 250 brands and 10,000 skin care, makeup and hair care products. So, no matter what you are looking for, you probably will find it on this site!
